Landfall is a 1949 British war film directed by Ken Annakin and starring Michael Denison, Patricia Plunkett and Kathleen Harrison.
While the enquiry finds that the captain of the submarine was principally at fault for poor navigation, Rick is officially criticised for having failed to properly visually identify his target.
After his aircraft crashes and he is critically injured, he is met at the hospital by the naval captain who originally ruled against him, and he tells Rick that he has been exonerated in the re-opened enquiry.
[5] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Competent but unexciting story of some 1940 adventures in Coastal Command: Air Force (synthetic jollity) and Naval (strong, silent service) backgrounds interspersed with heavily humorous excerpts from the familiar home life of Kathleen Harrison.
"[8] TV Guide rated the film similarly, concluding that "[a]dequate performances are marred by a script burdened with some soap opera dramatics.
